No, AFAIK there are no direct replacements for this chip.

No, the CA3161 supports "code B", which adds the characters EHLP, the minus sign and a blank to the digits 0..9 that the decimal decoders can display. The minus sign and the blank are used by the CA3162.

Mostly the same pinout (note lack of RBI-bar, RBO-bar, LT-bar, etc. on the CA3161) but the 7447 doesn't do on-chip current regulation (although it probably typically limits at somewhere around 40mA this will result in some stuff getting hot, including your LED's!) so you should add some limiting resistors and the 7447 doesn't do the -HELP codes (although they may not matter for the application).

Addendum to my previous post:

Depending on what exactly you mean with "equivalent": if you just want a proper chip for building a digital panelmeter, use the 7106 (LCD) or

Tilmann

And you can buy a whole DMM so cheaply it may be easier and cheaper.

Thanks to everyone who replied..
